Mass drug administration (MDA) with the anthelmintic praziquantel is the cornerstone of control. Treatment side effects are commonly observed and may be associated with dying worms. Side effects have also been reported as a reason for reduced MDA uptake, potentially resulting in those most in need refusing repeated treatment. An improved understanding of the association between side effects and infection intensity, pre-treatment health, and drug efficacy, may help inform education campaigns to facilitate increased MDA uptake.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Using latent class analyses, Beta regression, and dose response curves, we analysed egg and antigen parasitological data alongside health and side-effects survey data pre- and post-praziquantel-treatment from two primary schools (Bugoto Lake View (LV) and Musubi Church of God (CoG)) in\n                      <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic>\n                      high endemicity Ugandan villages to understand whether pre-treatment infection status or intensity were related to 1) pre-treatment symptoms, 2) post-treatment side effects, and 3) whether parasite clearance after treatment was associated with side effects.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Principal findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At Bugoto LV: Abdominal pain, blood-in-stool, and itching\/rash symptoms were non-linearly associated with infection intensity; Diarrhoea, headache and vomiting side effects were non-linearly associated with infection intensity.
